God reveals Himself in our trials

What Joanne Farro says about praying for trouble makes a lot of sense. Read her story to the class and ask them to identify from it the benefits of going through a trial. God uses life situations to teach us about Himself. After trials, our love and compassion increases, our prayer time becomes effective and our ability to relate to those who are experiencing problems in life increases. We become ready servants able to minister to others.
